Won a pub quiz and Valve won the console wars, so that’s a fun evening

The Verge exists so @seanhollister.bsky.social can go deep on the new Steam Machine, the culmination of over a decade of Valve investing in making Linux run Windows games better than Windows www.theverge.com/games/818622...
Valve enters the console wars
Steam Machines have returned.

Shout out to my neighbours who once got a noise complaint from us followed by an in-person “please shut the fuck up” from me who just got home, clearly shitfaced, and managed to keep all their drunken shenanigans to a whisper before they got to their flat

These dorks AI-generated a car with no engine and didn’t realize it

is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

ngl if you're able to (and not everyone is) you should try and own the things you enjoy on physical media

and if you're technically minded (and not everyone is!!!!) then you should absolutely self host a media streamer with the stuff you own. shit rules
*stares at the collection of 200+ DVDs that I've had in storage for the last eight years*

*stares at the increasing price and declining quality of streaming services*

*stares back at my dvd collection*

...you thinking what I'm thinking?

Absolutely insane.

Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.

Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

The joy of buying a ton of your favourite albums on CD and making a digital library out of them is that habit will sometimes bring you to your streaming service and you'll stream a track you own and then half way through go "wait a minute I own this" and be grumpy and go to where your local music is

Our #AutumnArrivalSpotlight turns to the Teal today, the UK’s smallest dabbling duck. 🦆

With visitors arriving from northern Europe, their vibrant green eye-stripes brighten our lakes and marshes.

Worth noting that the first real turning point here was probably 2008, when the Thatcher/Reagan neolib consensus totally exploded. The totality of the effort of the political establishment since then has been dedicated to pretending this hasn't happened and things can carry on as before.
Again, all of this was easily avoidable: we could’ve turned from this path at any time. But lots of important people chose this version of Britain at every key decision point, because this is the future in which people like them can thrive and prosper, at everyone else’s expense.
